The Humanmale Roni von Wasaki was born in the year20,000 BBY and was trained as a Jedi Knight during the Expansionist Era. He was dispatched to several frontier regions, where he established peace and order. Gaining the respect of the people, Wasaki's administration was widely accepted and embraced. However, his position earned him the ire of criminals and those seeking to tip the balance of justice.[1]

Still attempting to resist capture in hibernation, Wasaki mentally reached out to Drobo, convincing the captain to free him and return his weapons. However, XT-8 learned of that and killed Drobo, as he had become a liability. In the process, XT-8 damaged the Starkiller's hyperdrive. The droid, unable to repair the ship, continued the trip on sublight drive, turning a thirty day jump into 20,000 years.[1]

Wasaki persisted in his frozen state, continually trying to reach anyone passing within close proximity of the ship. Though the carbonite preserved him, the elongated journey slowly drove him insane, leaving him with twenty millennia of lonely thoughts and dreams. His situation also left him permanently blind, leaving him with only the Force to rely on.[1]

During the Imperial era, a group of Rebelsoldiers with a Force-sensitive amongst them discovered the Starkiller making its painstakingly long journey. They boarded the craft, and after encountering several dangers, including XT-8, found the frozen Wasaki. The Rebels were able to free the Jedi with a minimum of fuss, and began questioning him about his situation. Disoriented, the ancient Jedi struggled with the answers, offering little information, while probing the minds of the Rebels with the Force, due to force of habit.[1]

Wasaki persisted until the Rebels gave up and transferred him onto their ship. However, before long, the Jedi grew fearful, and asserted to the crew that the dark side of the Force had physically manifested itself on board the ship, and that he, Roni von Wasaki, was the embodiment of the light side. He also believed that someone was trying to penetrate his mind.[1]

Realizing that Wasaki was disturbed, the Rebels tried to help him, but the Jedi suddenly went rigid as if once again encased in carbonite. Impervious to pain, Wasaki began to use the Force aggressively against the Rebels with murderous intent. He then snapped back out of his immobile state and attacked the Rebels with his lightsabers. The Force-sensitive amongst the Rebels was able to subdue the Jedi and disarm him.[1]

Roni von Wasaki was considered a benevolent and fair keeper of the peace during his time in the frontier sectors, but it was these qualities that prompted criminals to target him. He preferred not to directly attack his opponents, instead relying on the Force to subdue them, a choice that eventually led to his capture. He had no qualms with entering and manipulating the minds of others, something that he did frequently.[1]

20,000 years of carbonite-induced hibernation slowly drove Wasaki insane. In his demented state, he was prone to violence without cause and displayed sudden bouts of fear and paranoia.[1]

Wasaki was a practitioner of an unusual lightsaber technique, wielding both a standard sized saber and a smaller shoto. Wasaki chose that despite it being suited more to dueling rather than his typical law enforcement duties.[1]

He was proficient in the use of the mind trick, and he used it often. In his state of delirium, affecting minds would become second nature to him. After waking up into a completely new galaxy, he often fell into trances. He would also ignore pain and assert that it was his role to defeat the dark side once and for all. Wasaki was also particularly skilled in telekinesis and Force kill; however, the group of Rebels were able to subdue him.[1]

Roni von Wasaki was created by Chris Hind in the 1992 gaming article "Disturbance in the Force", which was first published in the unlicensed magazine Challenge 66. He serves as a final antagonist for the player in the game. This is the only source in which von Wasaki appears, and as such, his canon status is uncertain.

"Disturbance in the Force" asserts that Roni von Wasaki wielded lightsabers circa 20,000 BBY, which, according to The New Essential Chronology, is at least 4,500 years before they were invented.[2] This continuity error is due to the fact that the article was written before the history of the lightsaber was outlined in licensed sources, and that licensed sources rarely, if ever, take unlicensed sources into account.
